among buyers, and during the session local
1nlllers picked up considerable grain. Some
of them We're buying freely, as the expected
reaction in prices after the big break has not
yet appeared, and with orders for flour taken
before the drop in wheat, they are enabled
TO pay current rates. Those who are not
grinding on orders do not buy except in q
small way. A good deal of wheat was offered
that was bought to go to Chicago and now,
that sales have been taken in at a lower
figure, the wheat on hand is for sale.

has little if any effect in making prices, that
being determined by quality and the per-
centage of hard in each parcel.
